Punans in Borneo. One of the Punans told me that they were unequalled in the hunt of the rhinoceros. When hunting, they were accompanied by a group of dogs. When these had seen a rhinoceros, they would not let go until it was killed. They would follow the animal for months in the forest. They knew the paths well which the animal would follow, so sometimes they could cut off the road in front of the animal a few days in advance. Then they would lie in wait and kill it with a spear, which requires much skill. Such a day was a feast in camp. Not only almost everything of the rhinoceros is eaten, but it is also a valuable article for barter.
